Leaked RTX 5080 benchmark: it’s slower than the RTX 4090

Early benchmark test results suggest that the RTX 5080 sits below the RTX 4090.

Going for specs alone and the performance delta between the RTX5090 and 4090, there was no way the RTX5080 would beat the 4090.

I think that with all the extra bells and whistles with the new gen it should have some moments, but yeah I've had my doubts for this one too. We'll all know soon enough one way or another when the official reviews get out.
